On March 31st, 2024, under the shimmering lights of Water World Aquatic Club at Kapila Resort, Kharadi, a remarkable event unfolded, marking a celebration of inclusivity, talent, and awareness. The Inclusion Carnival, orchestrated by The World of Blessing and spearheaded by Romal Surana, emerged as a radiant beacon, shedding light on the capabilities of individuals with special needs, particularly focusing on autism.
Graciously hosted by Mr. Vijay Sah, the founder of Water World Aquatic Club, and buoyed by the support of community stalwarts such as Mrs. Seema Tanwar of Women Club Kharadi, the carnival transcended boundaries, welcoming individuals from all walks of life. As twilight descended, the stage became a canvas upon which the remarkable talents of children with special needs were painted, each performance a testament to resilience and spirit.
Romal Surana, in a moment of heartfelt gratitude, extended appreciation to the team, partners, and the community for their unwavering support. The presence of Mrs. Seema Tanwar as the chief guest underscored the collaborative effort in fostering inclusivity and raising awareness about neurodiversity.
The carnival unfolded as a kaleidoscope of activities, offering a plethora of experiences ranging from art exhibitions to dance workshops, fancy dress competitions, and musical performances. Renowned artists like Rohan Goyal, Rehmat Sheikh, and students under the tutelage of Mr. Gahininath Dattu lent their expertise to the art exhibition, infusing the ambiance with creativity and inspiration.
Workshops led by Mrs. Nisha Prasad from Being Blessed and Mr. Vishal from Center Stage Dance Institute added depth to the carnival's offerings, engaging participants in meaningful experiences. However, it was the performances by the students of Aniket NGO from Bhugaon that left an indelible mark, showcasing not just talent but an unyielding spirit that resonated with all present.
With over 50 performances and nearly 80 individuals participating, the carnival echoed the resounding message of unity and acceptance. Each participant was honored with medals and certificates, acknowledging their invaluable contributions to the evening's tapestry of talent.
Behind the scenes, Romal Surana, the visionary behind the Nanhagyan Foundation, orchestrated the event, weaving threads of compassion, empowerment, and celebration into its fabric. The event's success was further amplified by the magnetic presence of show host Mr. Uday Kulkarni, whose charisma added an extra sparkle to the festivities.
The collaborative effort of individuals such as Archana Waghmare, Ashok Bhand, and Reetika Chatterjee played an instrumental role in bringing the vision to fruition, underscoring the transformative power of collective action.
Among the myriad stalls that adorned the venue, Taru Cafe and Triveni left a lasting impression by extending their warmth and hospitality, offering treats like gulab jamun and Pani Puri to all attendees, especially the students and staff of Aniket NGO from Bhugaon.
Furthermore, the visual splendor of the carnival was immortalized through the lens of Vishal Bhavsar from Disney International School, whose sponsorship ensured that every moment was captured with finesse and elegance.
In a world often marred by division, the Inclusion Carnival stood as a poignant reminder of the beauty found in embracing diversity and nurturing inclusivity. As the echoes of laughter and applause faded into the night, they left behind a legacy of acceptance, unity, and hope, resonating far beyond the confines of Water World Aquatic Club.
